Information confirmed by Elon Musk
Billionaire Elon Musk has officially confirmed that his Starship space rocket is due to launch from the SpaceX launch site in Texas at the end of the third week of April.
In addition, a message was posted on the official SpaceX Twitter page a few hours ago stating that there would be no launch rehearsal this week.
Teams are focused on launch preparations ahead of Starship’s first comprehensive flight test next week, pending regulatory approval – there will be no launch rehearsal this week.
SpaceX’s giant Starship rocket didn’t take off on April 10
After SpaceX moved its latest Starship rocket (Ship 24 prototype) to a launch pad in South Texas, there were rumors that the launch would take place as early as April 10th. The reason for the delay, as in all recent months, lies in obtaining permission from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The SpaceX rocket will have roughly twice the thrust of the two most powerful rockets ever to reach orbit: the NASA Saturn V and the Space Launch System.
Earlier, Elon Musk said that there is a high probability of failure during the first launch of Starship, but promised that in any case it would not be boring .
